The pupils were said to be playing behind the classroom block when the dilapidated building collapsed on them.

Six kindergarten pupils have been reported dead after a classroom block of the Gyambra Methodist School in the Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa District of the Central Region collapsed on them.

Three pupils of the school who suffered severe injuries are in critical conditions and have been admitted at the Our Lady of Grace Hospital at Breman-Asikuma.

The District Director of the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Samuel Donkor, told Accra-based Citi FM that the classroom block had developed some cracks.

He said the school came up with a proposal at the last Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) meeting to levy the students to renovate the block.
